Please bring back the search field back to where it belongs in iOS - on top of the list. Almost every app I use has the search field on top of the list. Furthermore show all results within the view - the extra step ("show all matching items") introduced with v8 desktop apps is extremely annyoing. On top of that now iOS has the same broken search algorithm that doesn't handle substrings.
The search field on top of the content area leads to strange usability problems. On iPad: I select "All items" in side bar, entering a search term and hitting the clear button. "All Items" is still highlighted but the middle column isn't showing "All items" but a search graphic. I have to tap again "All item" in order to see the items. The standard behaviour with the search box on top of the list would immediatly show the selection after clearing the search field.
